This blog will be about different aspects of cortisol and the effects of cortisol on the brain.
It will be a review of some of the evidance that high levels of cortisol over prolonged periods of time have a damaging effect on the human brain - especially the hippocampus. I also plan to show that this hypercortisolemia effect interacts with other biochemical variables. Some of these variables will be helpful in diagnosis and treatment of devistating effects of hypercortisolemia from any cause.That would be true for the endocrine glands (Cushing's)or the brain-based glucocorticoid receptors.
